According to the exclusive interview, stars Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman have known the end of the line was coming for a while now, and have set out to send the show off on a high note, with the pair determined to "find the most awesome example of each category and build on our past history."

A fitting farewell

Savage also stated that the show will "pay homage to this thing that's changed our lives," and that the "finale will go out with a bang, as everyone would expect."

In celebration of its longest running show, Discovery will be airing a huge marathon of every MythBusters episode from December 23, 2015.

As to what the pair will be doing next, Hyneman teased that they exec producing a new scripted show at CBS, and while he couldn't specify what it was about, Hyneman did say that "it's going to knock some people's socks off."
